STEAM SEPRATOR. APPLIOATION FILED oom, 1905.
I v[O j together with any accidental water of con- ROBERT D. JEFFRYS, OF NEWBURGH, NEW YORK.
' To cir/ZZ4 whom it may concern:
YBe it known that4 I, ROBERT D. J EFFREYS,
. a citizen of the United States, residingl in Newburgh, county of Orange, and State of NewYork, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Steam-separators, of which'the following is a specification.
yThis invention has relation to an improved means whereby the moisture suspended in steam as it comes from a boiler is removed,
densation, so as to prevent access Of moisture in liquid form to the engine.
A principal Objectl of this. invention is the -pro vision of a simple and easily-constructed device orthe above-named end which shall admit -of easy access to all the parts for cleaning and repairs.
My invention is illustrated in its preferred form in the accompanying drawings, where- 111- Figure 1 is a vertical section of a separator made in accordance with the invention, and Fig. 2 is a section thereof'taken on the line a: in Fig. 1. A v
The separator is contained in a main casing 1, which is preferably in tubular form, as shown, and the ends of which are closed by the flanges 2 and 3, through which the steam 4enters and leaves the device, respectively. The incoming steam enters by the vertical tube 4, and the end of this tube impinges upon a group of supporting-plates of any deslred character-as, for instance, the wirenettings shown at 5.V These nettings are separated by appropriate spacing-rings 6, supported within a cup-shaped chamber 7 by means of lugs 8 on the sides of said chamber.
l Any appropriate su port may be used in 4o thls connection, an the entire device may be given any desired position.
In the vertical form shown the chamber 7 is supported on appro riate supports, such as the brackets 9 on the inner faces of the Outercasing 1, and space is thus provided between the bottom ofthe chamber 7 and the flange 3, which closes the end of the cas- Specification of Letters Patent.

STEAM-SEPARATOR.
Patented Nov. 6, 1906.
The steam entering by the pipe 4 is carried a certain distance through the group of se arating-plates by its own momentum and t en returns, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 1, making its exit upward through the separating-plates and around the edge of the pipe 4. Thence, as shown by the arrows at the top of the figure, the steam passes over the top-Of the chamber 7, down the Outer walls of the casing 1, and finally through the `exit shown The advantage of this construction is that any moisture suspended in the steam is caught on the under surfaces of the separating-plates as the steam passes upward. The
separation of the moisture on the plates takes place after the steam is cooled somewhat, and the device can be so proportioned with regard to the tem erature and speed of the incoming steam tliat the steam does not tend to condense until after it begins to move upward. The moisture thus separated finds its way down by gravity to the bottom of the chamber 7, whence it may be drawn Off by the proper trap communicating with the pipe 11.
In the vertical forms of the device the pipe shownfat 12 may be used in connection with the ipe 11 for connecting a level-gage; but this orms no necessary part Of the present invention.
What I claim is- A steam-separator comprising an outer casing with a steam-exit at the bottom thereof, an inner chamber having a closed bottom, a group of transversely-placed 'separatingplates in said chamber and an inlet-pipe projecting into said inner chamber and terminating at the face of said group of plates, all
